      My mistake, Somehow I was thinking it was just east of I-75 around the 10-11 mile area. My grandfather squandered my inheritance there!

          That reminds me of when we moved from Los Angeles to oHIo many years ago. I commented that the air in oHIo made me nervous. I couldn't see what I was breathing.

            He was a VERY wise man, he just had bad luck picking winners at the horse racing track.

              So it was 10:30 today and getting ready to set the engine. It took me under 15 minutes to have it bolted up. Then adding parts came next. At 2:30 this is where it stands. Made great progress for just around 4 hours of wrenching.
